Why:

The car
industry is undergoing major changes with new services and applications
in areas such as security, safety, navigation, car maintenance, fleet
management, mobile office and entertainment. Information and
communication technologies (ICTs) also have a strong role to play in
making cars more environmentally friendly. These changes represent
significant opportunities… and some challenges. Standardization is seen
as a major issue.

For the fifth year running, ITU, ISO and IEC will
bring together the key players involved in the development of these
standards, as well as other leading industry figures, for the Fully
Networked Car Workshop at the Geneva Motor Show.
